Ingredients
Scale
Cookie Base
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Filling
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 2–3 tablespoons powdered sugar (to taste)
Instructions
- Mix the Cookie Base: In a bowl, combine rolled oats, 1/2 cup peanut butter, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is well combined and forms a cohesive dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Cookies: Roll the mixture into small balls, then flatten each ball into a round, cookie-shaped patty. Arrange these rounds on a tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare the Filling: In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup peanut butter with 2 to 3 tablespoons powdered sugar, adjusting sweetness to your preference. Stir until smooth and creamy.
- Assemble the Sandwiches: Spread a small amount of the peanut butter filling onto one cookie round. Place a second cookie round on top and gently press together to form a sandwich.
- Repeat Assembly: Continue sandwiching the remaining cookies with filling until all are paired.
- Chill to Set: Place the assembled sandwich cookies in the refrigerator for 30 to 60 minutes. This step firms up the filling and helps the cookies hold their shape.
- Serve and Store: Enjoy the cookies chilled or at a cool room temperature. Store any leftovers covered in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute honey with maple syrup to make it vegan-friendly.
- Use creamy or crunchy peanut butter depending on your texture preference.
- Adjust powdered sugar in filling for desired sweetness.
- For added flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a handful of mini chocolate chips to the cookie base.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
